Avantages

Pays OK for semi-skilled labor and the benefits package isn't bad

Inconvénients

There is a lot of strain between management and union. It is a hard cycle to break once it has gotten started. As a union member I had to rely on the union to keep me safe since management would periodically want jobs done that plainly were not safe. The union protected the worker. The down side is the advancement is by seniority so if you are skilled you have to wait to advance as long as anyone else. So if you are smart and/or skilled you will do better somewhere else. If you are average you could do worse.

Avantages

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Inconvénients

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
